Eric B. Evans

Eric Evans represents innovative companies in trade secret cases and large-scale federal false advertising, privacy, and antitrust class actions. Eric also helps leading technology companies navigate complex data and information governance issues, including the use of generative AI tools in their businesses.

Eric’s advice to clients on generative AI and information governance is informed by his experience as an information technology professional. Before law school, Eric was associate director of instructional technology at Denison University, where he lived through the dot-com boom as Denison’s Digital Millennium Copyright Act agent. In that role, he also enforced and redrafted the university’s Acceptable Use Policy for Network Resources during the heyday of peer-to-peer filesharing. 

Eric maintains an active pro bono practice and has represented clients in high-profile voter suppression matters, as well as in a successful class action that brought relief to victims of the Trump administration’s travel ban that disproportionately affected Muslim families. He speaks Arabic and French and has some skill in Persian and Turkish.
